written by Maryann N. Weidt Longing for freedom, Harriet Tubman rode the Underground Railroad away from slavery. Not once, but more than twenty times, she risked her life to help others escape the same way. She donned disguises, used tricks, and outwitted those looking for her. She was so good at evasion she became a spy during the Civil War. Whether spying, cooking, nursing, giving speeches, or leading slaves to freedom, Harriet Tubman spent her entire lifetime helping others. The History Maker Bios series offers introductions to the lives of historical figures found in the core of every history curriculum. Filled with fascinating true stories and illustrations, photographs, artwork, and historically accurate caricatures, each title in this lively series will entertain and inform readers. |
